Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration
An organic compound that provides energy to drive and support many processes in living organisms. (Adenosine Triphosphate)
ATP
Any of several green pigments found in cyanobacteria and in the chloroplasts of algae and plants and allow plants to absorb energy from light.
Chlorophyll
What is the acronym that we use to remember the cell cycle?
PMAT
The male reproductive cell, or gamete.
Sperm
What happens during Prophase I of meiosis?
Crossing-over
Process by which biological fuels are oxidized in the presence of an inorganic electron acceptor, like oxygen, to drive the bulk production of ATP, which contains energy for the cell.
Cellular Respiration
A type of membrane-bound organelle known as a plastid that conducts photosynthesis mostly in plant and algal cells.
Chloroplast
The stage of mitosis after the process of metaphase, when replicated chromosomes are split apart and the newly copied chromosomes (daughter chromatids) are moved to opposite poles of the cell.
Anaphase
the female reproductive cell, or gamete.
Ovum/Egg
What are the products of Photosynthesis?
Glucose & Oxygen
An organism that cannot produce its own food, instead taking nutrition from other sources of organic carbon, mainly plant or animal matter.
Heterotroph
A large group of land plants that have tissues for conducting water and minerals throughout the plant.
Vascular plants
Portion of the cell cycle that is not accompanied by visible changes under the microscope, and includes the G1 (cell grows), S (replicates its DNA), and G2 (prepares for mitosis) phases.
Interphase
A type of reproduction that involves a complex life cycle in which a gamete with a single set of chromosomes combines with another gamete to produce a zygote that develops into an organism composed of cells with two sets of chromosomes.
Sexual reproduction
56
A sugar with the molecular formula C6H12O6 that is mainly made by plants and most algae during photosynthesis
Glucose
The process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems, and flowers.
Transpiration
A stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle in which chromosomes are at their second-most condensed and coiled stage and align in the equator of the cell before being separated into each of the two daughter cells.
Metaphase
What are the results of Meiosis?
Four unique cells
Where does the replication of DNA take place in the cell cycle?
S Phase (Synthesis phase)
Metabolic process in which energy is generated from food molecules, involving a series of oxidation reactions during which oxygen is consumed and carbon dioxide is produced.
Aerobic Respiration
Plants without a vascular system consisting of xylem and phloem.
Non-Vascular plants
The final stage in both meiosis and mitosis in a eukaryotic cell.
Telophase/Cytokinesis
A reproductive cell of an animal or plant.
Gamete
Why do cells divide? 3 reasons
Growth, asexual reproduction, and repair.
